Description
He's a lovestruck loser. She's a real firestarter. Teenager "Triple-Six" is an incarcerated loser with lobster-like pincers for hands and a deranged new girlfriend who just framed him for a brutal murder. To make matters worse, his girlfriend's mother is the infamous pyromaniac serial killer, Lorraine Worner, a woman with more than thirty victims and a dozen true-crime documentaries about her exploits. She was deceased until Triple-Six accidentally summoned her back to Earth. Now on the run from the human authorities and a number of Hell's wardens, furious at him for releasing one of their most prized prisoners, Triple-Six makes a Faustian bargain with Lorraine in a final bid to get out of this mess and ride off into the sunset with the troubled girl of his dreams. If he can survive for three days without Lorraine killing him, she'll give him his freedom and restore his malformed hands to normal. And maybe with normal hands, his girlfriend will finally love him.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Drew Huff roars out of the gate with this strong debut, a radical reinvention of the road novel with shades of Katherine Dunn's Geek Love and Joe Hill's Horns." -Duncan Ralston, author of Woom and Ghostland
"Free Burn is a high-octane horror novel that's as full of heart as it is disturbing. It gripped me from the first page and broke me over and over again. This book is everything." -Steph Nelson, author of The Vein and The Threshing Floor
"If you imagine a William S. Burroughs fever dream while Edward Scissorhands plays in the background, you'll have a vague idea of what lives in the pages of Free Burn. Drew Huff's explosive debut spins the legend of Bonnie and Clyde into a story that explores the depths of trauma with unapologetic weirdness. A manic, propulsive tale of blood, sweat, and...other bodily fluids." -Brennan LaFaro, author of Noose
"Jaw-dropping in its uniqueness, stunning in its prose, and captivating in tone, concept, and approach; Free Burn is a perfect example of why I am a reader. Drew Huff is one author that other authors NEED to be reading. Stories like this are why I love to read; authors like Drew Huff endlessly inspire me to write. Read Free Burn. Read Drew Huff. She will be a force in the fiction world, soon." -Candace Nola, author of Desperate Wishes
